PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT: YOUTH ACADEMY
Born in 2015, 2016 or 2017 (U8-U10) The Youth Academy is the beginning of the Player Pathway into our Local, Regional and National Competitive Programs. The program places emphasis on 3 areas of Individual Player Development: Soccer Development, Athletic Development, Personal Development. The program focuses on developing the individual player’s technical abilities, providing opportunities to play various positions in matches and the freedom to make their own decisions and learn from their own experiences. In essence, the CISC YA Program focuses on the overall well-being of the person that will enhance their lives for years to come!

PURPOSE
Our purpose is to develop leadership, accountability, selflessness, humility and character. We challenge our players to respect the game by respecting themselves, the referee, the opponent and the coach. We strive to develop players in an environment that encourages individual expression, as well as responsibility to the team. We dare our players to take risks, play on the front foot, and to embrace challenges. Our players must play with personality and bravery.
We develop the person first…then the player.
IDENTITY
Our players and teams should reflect a passion, hunger & desire to succeed on the field. Our players want to support and play for our team with mutual respect & competitiveness.
When we do not have the ball, we should be
hard working
to win the ball back. When we have the ball, we should be positive,
forward thinking &
aggressive with the ball. We have a
purpose to our play
where we increase our chances of scoring through each possession. Our players will
pass forwards and run forwards.
Our players will be allowed to display their individual soccer personalities and to express themselves as we learn to play for fun, for the love of the game and with the competitive nature that comes from rigorous competition on the soccer field.
Energy in everything that we do.
